Meeting Bristol City Poet Vanessa Kisuule

Vanessa Kisuule
Today, I had the great pleasure of meeting poet Vanessa Kisuule when she held a pop up residency at Fishponds Library for the day. We chatted about poetry and writing, and Vanessa very kindly gave me a poem from one of several she had on her table.

I discovered that Vanessa is only the second person to have been given the role of Bristol City Poet, which she will hold until summer 2020, and she'll be holding more pop up residencies at other Bristol libraries over the next few months. Check out her website to see if she'll be coming to your area soon!
